We are sad to report the
passing of Jackie Rose in February 2023. It made me
sad when I heard this. Jackie trained me the night I
auditioned for my job at WRAN, and encouraged PD
Mike Ofsanka to hire me. Thank you, Jackie, for the
photos and memories you sent. Rest in Peace.
How can one describe the feeling of
getting your very first business card from a radio
station?
Did this mean that Jackie could park
anywhere and not get a ticket?

It warms the former WRAN chief
engineer's heart to see a DJ taking transmitter
readings!

Taravella who did sports on the weekends.
For you kids, what newsman Frank
Anthony is sitting next to is something they used to
call a typewriter.

Thank you, Jackie, for sharing these
wonderful photos with us.
